I love polls!!!
One thing I found of particular interest is that there does seem to be a Democratic majority in America. Yet, the Republicans hold POTUS, COTUS and SCOTUS.
Naturally, people in a democracy will look to the opposition for solutions after a certain amount of time. This result is therefore not at all surprising:
This one did come as a bit of a surprise to me though. Democrats outnumber Republicans:
Ah, but the one below explains a lot. Democrats outnumber Republicans, yet conservatives vastly outnumber liberals. But moderates pwn both.
There are even more conservatives than Republicans, demonstrating how the GOP has become a vehicle for a minority pressure group. Liberals on the other hand constitute only a slight majority of Democrats, which means they can not dominate their party in the way that conservatives do on the right. Which should in theory make the Democrats the more natural choice for that moderate majority.
Gah, when oh when will the Democrats finally manage to wring mainstream, moderate America from the firm grasp of the GOP?
Thanks, Lemur, nice poll.
